Do not buy it to print directly from a phone. ### A good shortlist for - A dedicated computer shipping station - A workflow that already downloads label PDFs - Buyers who do not need a wireless print route ### Think twice if you need - Direct phone printing - A shared network printer without additional equipment ## The useful specifications. Verified manufacturer specifications | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Exact model | X1038 | | Selected US identifier | X1038 | | Print method | Direct thermal | | Resolution | 203 dpi · manufacturer specification | | Media / print width | 1.57–4.1 in | | Label system | Compatible direct-thermal media | | Automatic cutter | Not verified for this configuration | | Current price / stock | Confirm at the retailer; no current offer is asserted here. | ## Will it work with your device? **iPhone / iPad** NOT A DIRECT ROUTE No direct iPhone/iPad printing route; use a computer. **Android** NOT A DIRECT ROUTE No direct Android printing route; use a computer. **Mac** DOCUMENTED ROUTE USB with the Rollo driver; confirm your current macOS version in downloads. **Windows** DOCUMENTED ROUTE USB with the Rollo driver; confirm current OS and architecture. A documented route is not a guarantee for every OS version, app or label size. Confirm your exact combination before buying. ### Keep these in view. - Driver support must be checked for your exact OS version. - Compare the actual new-printer bundle, not a refurbished promotion. - An external label roll may require a suitable holder. ## Where it fits in your workflow. Start from one real label PDF and the device you will actually use. Check the template, print scale, connection route and compatible supplies before judging the printer quote. A marketplace logo does not establish native integration. ## Read next.
